Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport

Kingsford Smith adds a separate layer well above the local traffic: arrivals and departures crossing the region at altitude, more audible at night when the GA activity has stopped.
Bankstown Airport
live map →13 overflights/day (44%) · typically 400 ft
Revesby sits south of Bankstown Airport under the edge of its circuit area and the southbound track light aircraft fly toward the training areas — most passes are singles and twins at low altitude during daylight.
Light-aircraft counts are tracked overflights only — many training and private aircraft carry no ADS-B transponder, so true numbers are higher.
